Problem 7.103A steam turbine operating at steady state develops 9750 hp. The turbine receives 100,000 pounds of steam per hour at 400 lbf/in.2and 600°F. At a point in the turbine where the pressure is 60 lbf/in.2and the temperature is 300°F, steam is bled off at the rate of 25,000 lb/h. The remaining steam continues to expand through the turbine, exiting at 2 lbf/in.2and 90% quality. (a) Determine the rate of heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings, in Btu/h. (b) Devise and evaluate an exergetic efficiency for the turbine. Kinetic and potential energy effects can be ignored. Let T0= 77°F, p0= 1 atm. Known: Operating data are provided for a steam turbine at steady state from which steam is bled off at a specified state and flow rate. Find: (a) Determine the rate of heat transfer between the turbine and its surroundings. (b) Devise and evaluate an exergetic efficiency.Schematic and Known Data: Engineering Model: (1)The control volume shown in the accompanying figure operates at steady state. (2)Kinetic and potential energy effects can be neglected. (3)For the environment, T0= 77°F, p0= 1 atm.

What students are saying

As a current student on this bumpy collegiate pathway, I stumbled upon Course Hero, where I can find study resources for nearly all my courses, get online help from tutors 24/7, and even share my old projects, papers, and lecture notes with other students.

Kiran
Temple University Fox School of Business ‘17, Course Hero Intern

I cannot even describe how much Course Hero helped me this summer. It’s truly become something I can always rely on and help me. In the end, I was not only able to survive summer classes, but I was able to thrive thanks to Course Hero.

Dana
University of Pennsylvania ‘17, Course Hero Intern

The ability to access any university’s resources through Course Hero proved invaluable in my case. I was behind on Tulane coursework and actually used UCLA’s materials to help me move forward and get everything together on time.
